Today we have an opportunity to explore the village of Nangi and watch and learn how the villagers grow and attend to their organic farms, and promote organic farming through an organic school. Nangi is also a place where they make hand-made paper – another interesting aspect of how they have minimal impact on the environment.
Today we begin our trek by passing through rhododendron, oak and bamboo forests on our way to Mohare Danda ridge. From the ridge we are blessed with some awesome views of the surrounding mountains – especially at sunrise as the colors reflect off the snow-capped peaks.
An early morning start to the day and the crisp mountain air rewards us with a spectacular sunrise view of the surrounding landscape and the constantly changing light adding to the experience.
